Novel Anthropometric Indices and Probability of Adequate Nutrient Intake in the Older Polish Population.

ABSTRACT: Background: The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an emerging anthropometric measure that reflects central adiposity, particularly relevant in ageing populations where body composition and nutritional status undergo significant changes. This study aims to explore patterns linking BRI values, age, energy intake, and micronutrient adequacy using cluster analysis, with a focus on implications for older adults. Methods: Data from 1504 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 74.4 ± 10.8 years) in Poland participating in the PolSenior project were analyzed. K-means cluster analysis was applied to standardized variables (BRI, age, energy intake, and micronutrient adequacy) to identify major participant profiles. Results: The data indicate that older adults, particularly those o
